Installing AutoDVRconvert 1.3 Written by Heimiko in Vista/86
This procedure is will make AutoDVRconvert work on Windows Vista w or w/o Media center. Also, you may use this to install other programs like DVR_2_WMV, DVRMSToolbox, and others from the
http://thegreenbutton.com/or http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/ that will not install correctly. I have not tested this. If you find that it works, please pass the information on thank you.
The Key to the whole thing is to turn off
User Account Control.
Warning: download AutoDVRconvert to a holding file first. Turning off User Account Control allows uninvited guest into to your registry. So before you start this procedure, run spy and virus software and if you can backup your registry. Just to be safe.
Now let us begin:
1. go to control panel – security – check this computer’s security status
2. security essential - User Account control – Turn off
Note, Windows Vista may or may not restart this is Ok. Moving on…..
Now unzip AutoDVRconvert and move the contents to the folder TV Recorded wherever you may have it stored. Do not move this to the Program Section of Windows Vista. Click on the Register Filers, this will register dump and MpgMux. This is where the Program starts to fail but now is should run ok.
Next click on the Alternate MPG, it will tell you to use CyberLink; Power DVD. I’m using version 6. Also correct your TV Recorded location: (<PARAM name="src" value="X:\Recorded TV\Test.mpg"/>) good
Now click on WMV Output you will see (NVIDIA_Video_Decoder) if you what to using this format you will have download Nvidia’s PureVideo Decoder (
http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html) you can try the 30 day Trial.
At this time, I copy the (AutoDVRconvert exe.) short cut to desktop just to make life easier. Now it should work, make shore you fill in the input path and output path where the recorded TV shows are located and that the output file extension is also filled in (MPG or WMV).
You can change the Graphs to fit your needs like converting to Divx but that is another day. I’m just glad to have this working.
It is not over yet. After you tried the program and have it works, go back to the
User Account Control and turn it back (On). Windows Vista will restart.
